AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the idea of tracking the number of posts in each section of the PF forum to identify popular topics and user interests. Some participants suggest that focusing on personal interests rather than overall statistics may be more beneficial. There is a recognition that while certain sections may have high post counts, this does not necessarily reflect individual engagement or expertise. The forum previously removed post counts from the homepage to avoid clutter and maintain meaningful interactions. Overall, the conversation highlights the balance between understanding forum dynamics and personal engagement with content.

You guys could put the number of posts by each section, I think we would discover what interests more in the forum and what people study more.

Why not just be concerned with what YOU are interested in and go to those sections?

Hi Phinds, Now you'll understand me, an example:

See you. Topics and messages of each section, could be like that.

Yes, I'm quite aware of what you are talking about. This is not the only forum I'm on. I just don't see the need for it here on PF. Again, why not just focus on the subjects YOU are interested in.

"why not just focus on the subjects YOU are interested in."
Ahhhh. Now I understood. It's a good idea! I thought you weren't understanding me , sorry kkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I was banished by 2 weeks because of linguistic problems (the majority of the threads). I
This would be a great idea.

Besides Phinds advice which makes sense you have to consider more than just replies.
If you analysed my posts you would think I visit for music and biology which is not correct, I just happen to know a lot more about those subjects than physics and if the topic is interesting then I will post.
Same with maths and the maths challenges, I will open the thread write down the questions I think I may half a chance with, then have a go at them.
I have never posted on those either as yet.

A few years ago we decided to remove counts from the homepage because PF has a lot of posts in every forum and at a certain point it just becomes meaningless noise. Every forum we have here is sufficiently active.
